Reimagining the human relationship with nature

The fate of humans and animals are inexorably intertwined; we breathe the air in which birds fly and drink the water in which fish swim.

She wrote a legal brief for an elephant. She helped with the effort to ban octopus farming in the United States. She invented a legal theory now used in countries around the world — one that lets wildlife own property. She is using law to help nature.

Radically Reimagining:

The Human Relationship with Nature

Founder & Director

The environmental crises we face aren't just scientific problems, they're failures of imagination. Radically Reimagining is an initiative that brings together thinkers, makers, and advocates to co-create new and better futures for how humans relate to the natural world through legal futurism.

Not incrementally. Radically.
